What Jobs Are We Doing In The Garden Today 2019

Potted on some hellebores that seeded in the border and put somewhere else later.
Potted on 8 lupins that i had free with a plant order.

 

Thank you both! (And @wiseowl )

Slowly, slowly, she is improving, praise the Lord!!

Her back legs are still splaying out sometimes, but she has the strength to regain control. All we have to do now is so get her eating normally again....

 

Ah! Looking so much better Woo
Good news Sian

 

That's good to read Sian,come on Izzy you can do it.

 

Sorry, I've no idea, it was given us by a friend who no longer wanted it years ago. They didn't know the name either.

 

Been potting on and pricking out,sweeping,and mowing but I've come to a stumbling block....I have a Robin nesting in my potting shed and don't want to disturb it..so I'm sneaking around trying to find pots .

 

Had a big sort out in the greenhouse and the big cold frame that hubs built a couple of years ago.
Have now moved some established seedlings into the greenhouse , not sure it if was a wise move but I needed to free up some space. We still have it bubble wrapped and the seedlings have covers put on them at night ....then a layer of fleecing! Fingers crossed.
Sowed some more seeds to fill the space left by the ' movers'.
All in all a good day, gorgeous weather too can't remember when we last ate lunch/ dinner indoors!!:BBQ:

 

Not sure if its any help but my dogs have always got dodgy tums (had them tested and they are allergic to loads of food-even rice, potatoes, white fish etc). We give them a daily pro-biotic. Or pro-kolin paste for a few days and their appetite is back to normal again

 

Divided gerberas, more potting on of perennials and seedlings plus grabbed more compost.
Beautiful day here too
A humpback whale was in our local waters today.....will go see tomorrow if we can see it

 

Hey guys! We’ve had lots of drying winds up in Scotland these last few days. I mulched the beds but they look bone dry! Would it be mad to water them at this time of year?

Could I apply a feed to my budding plants and perennials that are starting to grow or would it be a minefield of plants that would like it or not.

 

It was lovely and sunny so when I got back from a client's I wandered around my little back yard and in one of the raised beds, was the lone new growth of this year. Popping up and appearing robust was a healthy dandelion. My first official weeding of the year

Yes feed perennials now with a balanced fertiliser and scratch it into the surface of the soil. I like to add some mulch over added fertiliser.

Re mulching.....ideally we mulch over damp or wet soil to help retain moisture. However, mulching is always good at any time of year. Ground is dry here too but I won’t be watering just yet because a wet soil is a cold one so plants may not enjoy added moisture just now. Nights are still cold and the soil not quite warm enough. Leave the watering for now Kriss I think

 

Not a lot today, or since last week.
I've got myself a job
Being a stay at home Mam was getting boring
Soooo........ I rang my favourite gc and got a seasonal job
I'm loving it
I will try to catch up over the weekend. I'm still gardening, my chillies are in need of watering, my toms are getting leggy...so all is as it should be
Happy gardening peeps

 

Eek... the roots of my liatris and gladiolus bulbs roots are beginning to come through the bottom of the pots!

Should I start to harden off for 5-7 days then get them planted out or will they be fine for another 2 or 3 weeks in those pots indoors?
